The Jersey people (Jèrriais: Jèrriais; French: Jersiais), also referred to as Islanders, are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands who share a common history, Norman ancestry and culture.
There is no standard demonym for Jersey people, however common demonyms include Jerseyman/Jerseywoman[2] or Jèrriais. Jersey people are colloquially known as 'beans', after the Jersey bean crock - a traditional meal,[3] or crapauds (the Jèrriais word for toad), the reason being that Jersey has toads and Guernsey does not.[4] There is a statue in St. Helier of a toad, known as Le Crapaud.[4] The Jersey toad is a unique species, which are bigger, breed earlier and use different habitats than English toads.[5]
